HC Deb 23 January 1807 vol 8 c514

On Mr. W. Wynne's moving that the order of the day be read for receiving the report of the Irish Militia Service bill, Lord Castlereagh rose for the purpose of asking the right hon. secre– tary, if any provision had been made for ex–tending the additional pay granted last year, to the officers of the regulars, to the officers of corresponding ranks in the Militia service, that was, from the lieut. colonel down to the subalterns. The Secretary at War re–plied, that no such provision had been made. Lord Castlereagh hoped that a noble lord (whom he did not see now in his place) would bring this subject under the consideration of the house, more especially as he had himself stated that in his opinion, the increase of pay ought to extend as far as the captains of the Militia. The report was then received.
